When the local supermarket only has pizza (0) and health food (1) on the shelves, I just use the powers of my mind to influence wich one it will be, and it always comes up pizza.
My teamleader thinks he's a star, and he often emits huge gas clouds. My boss, on the other hand, is a friggin' planet, and she drives a Galaxy because it's the only thing she fits in.

It's in the nature of the avarage gadget to be something you don't need until you buy it, or you see everyone else use it. Keeping that in mind, I'm looking forward to improvements on existing stuff much more than getting my hands on new thingies. If the storage space, portability, speed, ease of use, battery life, and of course the price of existing gadgets will really improve, I'll be happy.:)
Let's see how many of them actually make it big. Buy too soon and you might end up with something that's not the standard, no longer supported, surpassed by something else with more functionality, too expensive too use, or incompatible with existing stuff.

People have been staring at Hollywood actresses' boobs for ages, so the optical use of silicons isn't exactly a new thing.
Uhhh, waiter, there's a zeppelin in my drink.

So what if it turns out there are hidden WMDs in there?
